Students may register in a course without receiving academic credit by placing an N in the credit prefix column on the registration card. They must pay the normal graduate tuition fee for the course and fulfill the same requirements during the term, including the execution of any written assignments, as all other students. At the end of the term, however, they may not take the final examination, and they will be assigned a grade of S (satisfactory) or U (unsatisfactory). The course and the letter grade will be included on each student`s record, but no credit toward the degree will be given. Before attempting an N registration in another school or college of the university, students should check with the dean`s office of that unit to see if they offer this option. See also Grades and Records in this chapter for information regarding credit prefixes.
